[RFC PATCH v4] ACPI: Move sdei_init and ghes_init ahead to handle platform errors earlier

On an ACPI system, ACPI is initialised very early from a subsys_initcall(),
while SDEI is not ready until a subsys_initcall_sync().

The SDEI driver provides functions (e.g. apei_sdei_register_ghes,
apei_sdei_unregister_ghes) to register or unregister event callback for
dispatcher in firmware. When the GHES driver probing, it registers the
corresponding callback according to the notification type specified by
GHES. If the GHES notification type is SDEI, the GHES driver will call
apei_sdei_register_ghes to register event call.

When the firmware emits an event, it migrates the handling of the event
into the kernel at the registered entry-point __sdei_asm_handler. And
finally, the kernel will call the registered event callback and return
status_code to indicate the status of event handling. SDEI_EV_FAILED
indicates that the kernel failed to handle the event.

Consequently, when an error occurs during kernel booting, the kernel is
unable to handle and report errors until the GHES driver is initialized by
device_initcall(), in which the event callback is registered. All errors
that occurred before GHES initialization are missed and there is no chance
to report and find them again.

From commit e147133a42cb ("ACPI / APEI: Make hest.c manage the estatus
memory pool") was merged, ghes_init() relies on acpi_hest_init() to manage
the estatus memory pool. On the other hand, ghes_init() relies on
sdei_init() to detect the SDEI version and the framework for registering
and unregistering events. By the way, I don't figure out why acpi_hest_init
is called in acpi_pci_root_init, it don't rely on any other thing. May it
could be moved further, following acpi_iort_init in acpi_init.

sdei_init() relies on ACPI table which is initialized subsys_initcall():
acpi_init(), acpi_bus_init(), acpi_load_tables(), acpi_tb_laod_namespace().
May it should be also moved further, after acpi_load_tables.

In this patch, move sdei_init and ghes_init as far ahead as possible, right
after acpi_hest_init().
